The Improbable European Pilgrimage

the Improbable Pilgrimage is Zampe’s 2019 #WorldAnimalDayChallenge #WAD
This part of the journey is unfolding in the rolling hills of the Southwest of the UK.
Along the Cotswolds Way the connections run easily in time with the rolling of the hills and through human recorded history

In July, the Costal path of The Jurassic coast has taken Zampe back in deep time too. the South coast high, steep, venturi-swept cliffs are ideally suited for the practice of conscious deep time walking with #DeepTimeWalk
Deep Time Walk is a beautiful production telling the story of Life in our Universe. As we walk through the Ages of Time we gain the physical sense of the sheer proportions of the evolutionary timelines of the universe and of our #StrangeRock that we call #Gaia. And the best part is that the story unfolds at your own pace, in less than 5km. Download the app and experience it yourself now from app store.

in the same period Zampe had an amazing experience at the Donkeys’ Sanctuary and gained an admiration for the #TrustTechnique used in the work with the animals 

The way meanders along sites of ancient Stones, passes by the Roman villa in the Combe and among the woodlands that inspired the composition of The Planets of Gustav Holst. – BBC dedicated a wonderful night to offer the lucky viewers the experience of wandering among the stars with an orchestra. –  Cheltenham dedicates events to literature and  Music
the run along the crest of the Malverns gave us 2 views: the Wales 

The Summer Challenge 2019 is 
– consciously make and upload pictures useful for something
for example: contribute to the #Litterati project > Europe Clean Up team and to #iNaturalist by observing and recording European Flora and Fauna

The Challenge is an opportunity to discover something new.

Making a habit into a practice: using technology with mindfulness, share ‘good’ energy. when you Share a photo on social media, if you are that kind of a social animal, Your foto is your message, the emotion it generates makes the energy you feed to the world. Make it a healthy one!

the Story is long. longer than the road itself is. but if you walk with me a while I’ll tell you a little bit of it; the bit I came to know from what I heard from Kia, the story where I get went like this: once upon a time there was a guardian shepherd named Zampe. Zampe was pulling ahead talking with Francis about Michael & Mary’s leying on the lines. Turning sharply back and lowering his nose to the ground in one sweep motion to investigate, always causing the whole bunch to halt with a jank, and occasionally a squeak too. Curiosity sometimes caught up at some such time too, occupying the group with wonder and leaving Time free to fly away. so much so that even much rushing won’t catch it.

From Gloucester Start & Grow, passing via Mont St Michael, across France , to the Sacra of St Michael in Piedmont
..and the message went on to walk on the efrancigena way, all the way to Rome
